The holidays are a festive time at the Groton Senior Center. The season got off to a great start December 7 when Groton Girl Scout Junior Troop 66109 and Julettes arrived to help decorate the Christmas tree, an annual tradition for the troop. The girls put the tree together, baked plates of cookies for the Seniors, and presented the center with a collection of new ornaments the girls gathered to ‘freshen up the tree’ and replace worn and broken decorations.According to Troop leader Deb Mendel, three of the girls did this as part of their Journey badge and the whole troop participated as a community service project.
